How to place your bet on LottoStar?

Betting online is a fun and convenient way to entertain yourself from the comfort of your home. However, just like with any online activity, it’s essential to follow safety precautions to protect yourself and your information.

Betting on licensed platforms like LottoStar keeps your personal and financial information safe, so you can place your bets with peace of mind.

Before entering any personal or financial information, make sure the website uses encryption to protect your data. Look for "https://" in the web address and a padlock symbol in the browser.

Online Betting - safety tips 

 proudly sponsored by LottoStar, celebrates Herman Bosman, who took on the challenge and walked away with R250,000!

Adapted from the popular quiz show, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”, contestants tackle a series of questions to secure the R1 Million cash prize. However, the road to riches is anything but easy.

Here's the low-down on the show:

 Six eager participants join each round, but only one gets the chance to answer each question. The tension builds as the clock ticks.

There are 4 possible answers to a question. Contestants need to answer the correct option.

Once a player is ready to commit, they declare, “This is my final answer.” This moment is pivotal—there’s no turning back.

 The correct answer means that they have won a cash prize and the goal is to reach the R1 Million goal.

The amount of cash offered increases and so does the difficulty of the question.

Not every question comes with an easy answer. If a player is unsure or unwilling to risk it all, they can choose to walk away with the money they’ve accumulated. In a final twist, the host will ask what their answer had been, revealing if they would have chosen correctly.

A huge congratulations to Herman Bosman on winning R250,000. 

Tune in to “

” on Kyknet, channel 144 on DStv, and see if the next contestant has what it takes to join the ranks of South Africa’s millionaires.

As the proud sponsor of the show, LottoStar is all about making dreams come true. Whether through sponsoring thrilling TV shows or our vast array of live games, we offer countless opportunities for players to win big.

With over 650 games available, you too could become a multi-millionaire in an instant. Place your bets and you could win payouts of up to R75 Million – instantly!



LottoStar: Wie word ‘n miljoenér player bags R250,000

Imagine your world changing in an instant—one moment, you’re safe at home, and the next, you’re in ICU, fighting for your life after a traumatic house robbery. For 

, this devastating event turned his world upside down when doctors delivered the heartbreaking new that due to the severity of his injuries, he would never walk again.

A bullet had missed his heart by just 1mm causing severe damage to his lung and spinal cord leaving him paralyzed from the chest down and wheelchair bound.

Darren underwent extensive medical procedures, which included having his back and head held together with staples and the removal of a third of his lung due to the bullet fragments that caused it to collapse.

This harrowing experience forced Darren, once a physically fit rugby player, kickboxer, and gym enthusiast, into rehabilitation, where he had to relearn even the most basic tasks—like sitting up.

However, Darren’s resilience and unwavering faith helped him defy the odds, earning him the title of the world’s 9th Fittest Adaptive Seated Without Hip Athlete—an incredible achievement, considering he only started 

As part of our charity initiative, LottoStar proudly contributed R90,000 to support Darren’s journey to the CrossFit Games in Texas, this September.

With 23 October marking exactly 17 years since the attack, Darren now has every reason to look back and smile. What once seemed like the end became the beginning of an incredible journey. Today, he stands as a symbol of perseverance, inspiring others to rise above adversity. Through unwavering determination, he has transformed tragedy into triumph, proving that no setback is insurmountable.

Darren is not just a survivor—he’s a force to be reckoned with, inspiring countless people with his story of strength, faith and resilience.

S.S. just unlocked a life-changing fortune with 

—hitting a jackpot of R1,826,250 in seconds, from a R1 bet!

Imagine going from an ordinary day to multi-millionaire status with just a simple scratch of a card.

Here’s how S.S. became one of SA's newest multi-millionaires and how you could be next:



How does it feel to be SA’s NEWEST Millionaire?


I am quite excited about my BIG win as it came out of nowhere. I still cannot believe it.

What was your reaction when you saw the win?


It all happened so fast! I was on a work call and I placed a bet in the background. It started with a small R70 win. I decided to activate the auto-bet feature on the game while I focused on my work. And then, out of nowhere—BOOM! My screen lit up with R1.8 Million!

Did you have a feeling that you’d win? 

Not at all! I had no idea this was coming. I wasn’t expecting anything major, especially since I was casually betting while multitasking. I’ve always enjoyed the thrill, but this completely blindsided me—in the best possible way!


Not yet! I’ve been keeping this incredible secret to myself, but I intend on telling my sister first.


I’m not quite sure yet. I want to enjoy the moment and let it sink in first before making any big plans.




Daily Ka-Ching is definitely at the top of my list! I love the rush and the possibility that you could win big at any moment. I’m also a huge fan of the ScratchCard games, especially Golf GTI and Toyota Hilux.




I just want to say a huge thank you to LottoStar! This win is truly going to change my life.

There you have it folks – S.S became a jackpot winner in an instant. You could be next. Simply, place a bet on Daily Ka-Ching and you could win payouts of over R5,4 Million.
